The narrative is a completely 'readable' story depicting a day in the life of a typical urban white-collar worker. As the description on the back notes, "anyone with experience in contemporary life can read it."

But of course if you're tempted (as you should be) you can check out the accompanying text,

"The Book about Xu Bing's Book From the Ground".

This book expands on the project and Xu Bing's process from inspiration to publication.

You can find these two books on display in the new books section of the library.
